Clinton’s Response To GOP Chairman’s ‘No Smile’ Comment Is Perfect

Their exchange perfectly sums up what it is like to be a woman running for the highest office in the country.

Men telling women to “smile more” is perhaps one of the most commonly used sexist tropes out there.

Following the first time Democratic presidential hopeful Hillary Clinton shared a stage with her Republican rival Donald Trump on NBC’s Commander-In-Chief Forum, Republican National Committee Chairman Reince Priebus slammed Clinton for not smiling more — because she should have been less angry when outlining her strategy to defeat terrorist threats, obviously.

@HillaryClinton was angry + defensive the entire time - no smile and uncomfortable - upset that she was caught wrongly sending our secrets.

Sadly, this is not the first time a Republican male lawmaker has told Clinton to smile more. After her triumph on Super Tuesday during the presidential primaries earlier this year, former Republican Congressman and current MSNBC host, Joe Scarborough, tweeted pretty much the same thing.
